Towards a Better Adoption Model
summary
Proposal: create an LF-wide system to surface compatible projects so forks and drop‑in replacements gain adoption. Concrete ideas: functionality tagging (an “app genome” for key‑value, message‑queue, cache primitives), an audit/working group that scans GitHub for Redis/Valky dependencies (example: booth adjacency turned into an adoption), and incentivized dog‑fooding plus LLM‑assisted matching. Hundreds of projects could be linked; outcome is a provable prototype rather than a finished solution.
